Loyalty is a double edged sword.
Trust me FB, i know that all too well. Had a career in the Navy and then worked for the same company for 16 years until they decided they needed to improve the bottom line and let 200 senior people go. They wound up having to hire back over 100 of them. When they asked me if I’d come back I said “Not only NO but
- …
NO!”. But loyalty IS loyalty and it does go both ways.
Last year DY stuck with DD but was firm in that certain expectations were in place. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever. It’s the bosses job to convey performance expectations. Did we catch some bad breaks, yep, but that goes with the job. Above all the rest the inability to find a place kicker drives me nuts. But this year has been better, the best in quite some time. But by the same token the thing that drives a faction of State’s fan base nuts will be exponential at Rocky top. That bunch was stoopid to let Fulmer go and they have done very little close to that since he left. Long suffering is not a trait for almost all of the fan bases in the SEC. How many coaches in the SEC other than Nicky have been on the same job for over 4 years? And as a football conference they are the best from top to bottom. If you don’t believe it just ask them. Only one coach has been there at least 4 years other than Nicky, and some of the schools have had 2 coaches in that 4 ywears. DD better take a long hard look before jumping into that frying pan.
